August 25, 2012, Huggo’s and Lava Lava Beach Club supported the annual Taste of Life Benefit for the Hawaii Island HIV/AIDS Foundation and Big Island Community at the Sheraton Keauhou Bay Resort in Kona.

On the Rocks' signature rum cocktails are the perfect summer coolers and the just right beverages to accompany Chef Ken's Jerk Chicken. Cheers!

Huggo’s Executive Chef Ken Schloss spent several years living and cooking in Jamaica and on other Caribbean Islands. During that time, he perfected a mouthwatering Jerk Chicken recipe — a wildly popular dish in the region.

Dinner and a show on Sunday evening…what could be more fun! Start with early dinner at our casual sister eatery On the Rocks on the waterfront in Kailua-Kona adjacent to Huggo’s, followed up with a performance by the Puna Mens’ Chorus at 7 p.m. at Keauhou Beach Resort. It’s a double-header of delicious, melodic fun for the entire family! Tickets for the show are available at the door. See you there!

Happy hump day from Huggo’s everyone! But why wait for the weekend to enjoy Chef Ken’s cooking — especially with these specials on offer this evening. If you haven’t tried Chef’s house-made fennel sausage yet, run don’t walk!

Check out the action at On the Rocks (our casual sister restaurant and bar just next door) this evening and beginning at 4 p.m. Monday afternoon — it’s a double dose of island favorite LT Smooth on stage. You can catch him there most every Sunday evening, Monday’s an added treat! And remember, happy hour is from 3 pm to 6 pm daily.

Look forward to seeing you there — and don’t forget your camera. Your award-winning photo could take the year end Grand Prize. Click here On the Rocks for all the details!
